Certain Tragedy

          C#                     F#            G#

And now I finally see that the further we go

     C#                            F#           G#

We're only treading ground that we already know

        Eb                     C#

I could write you a song, send you a note,

    Bb   G#       F#

Or empty out your trash.

          C#               F#           G#

And buy a bucket full of diamonds but

C#                   F#          G#

Even the most beautiful of all

Eb              C#

Roses must someday crumble

    Bb       G#     F#

To dust and fade away

Bb      G#    F#

Certain tragedy



C#     F#     Eb            F#         G#

So it's on in to the lonely night, and all the rest

C#     F#         Eb               F#           G#

Of it's the empty space between me and the sunken wall

C#     F#         Eb              A   G#

Feelin' someone's hand around my neck

C#      F#       Eb               F#

Chokin' away the life that I have left



          C#                  F#            G#

And I can finally see that the further I go

    C#                           F#           G#

I'm only treading ground I don't wanna know

     Eb                    C#

I'll probably hang upside down from wooden

Bb      G#     F#

Rafters in my home

    Bb       G#    F#

And look at old photos of you



C#     F#     Eb            F#         G#

So it's on in to the lonely night, and all the rest

C#     F#         Eb               F#       G#

Of it's the empty space between me and the sunken wall

C#     F#         Eb              A   G#

Feelin' someone's hand around my neck

C#      F#       Eb               F#

Chokin' away the life that I have left



Bb         G#            F#

I miss the warmth of the summer

             Bb        G#             F#        C#

When we were on our own, but now it's winter my bones

(solo)

Are cold



          C#                     F#            G#

And now I finally see that the further we go

     C#                            F#           G#

We're only treading ground that we already know

        Eb                     C#

    Bb   G#       F#

C#                   F#          G#
